Day 7 of Living At Home

(7:00 a.m. Sunday morning -Mom barges into room)
Confused and Awakened Me: "What are you doing? What is it?"

Me: "What?! I was sleeping."

(I desperately attempt to reconnect with REM....
Stare up and notice the weight on my bed has not moved.)

Me: "Mom!"
Mom: "I thought you were up."
Me: "Mom, you can't do this. You really can't do this to me."
Mom: ...
(sighs and walks out of room with down-trodden face.)
